And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth. Genesis 11:4

They acted like fools even though they felt that God would scatter them throughout the face of the Earth which actually did happen. Nimrod, one of the kings of the old days was proud and vain and wanted to stop the divine plan, which is why he conceived the plan to build the tower of Babel and affront the Almighty. However instead of destroying them all as He did in the flood (Genesis 6:17), the Lord created many languages and had them occupy all the areas of the world. 

The plan schemed by man are not always the Omniscient´s plan even though directed by Him. Like Paul, we will never know what awaits us unless God, from city to city reveals us (Acts 20:23). We must remain at God’s feet to learn what to do, how and when. The human projects are worthless, as we will never understand what we are not told, but if we are surrendered submissively to God we will discover His will.

Whoever does not seek advice from the Word of the Lord will never know how to conduct their lives and will be defeated by the devil.  Now, without revelation of the written word – prophecy – man is corrupted (Proverbs 29:18). Then he approves what is wrong and because of the Biblical prohibition, he will not recognize what was right.  Jesus said we can do nothing without Him (John 15:5), but many insist on practicing wrongdoings and later discover that they achieved nothing or worse!

God was about to create a variety of languages among mankind. Since the language was the same, He was going to change something in their minds. If so, the tower would cease to be built and the whole world would be inhabited.  It was an act of One who knew how to interfere the human thought train. The man would then say the same things but with different words. The Lord, who created man can recreate man at will. Halleluiah!

The plurality of idioms was carried out by the Holy Trinity. Consequently at a moment’s notice nobody understood each other anymore.  Only husband, wife and their children spoke intelligibly to each other in the same new language. Feeling lonely they sought out places where nobody else lived. What seemed bad actually favored all humanity. God is great!

The exodus took Nimrod’s subjects to the furthest extremes of the globe. The Lord knows what He did for man to reach the Americas – North, Central and South – and we know them as Indians or natives. Those that went to the Pacific were called aborigines and others migrated even to Africa, Europe and other corners of the world. By diversifying the languages, the All-Powerful made His plan succeed.

He who disobeys the divine purpose realizes he can’t do something that seems right.  God’s determined tasks are the right, perfect, and also the easiest to carry out. Obey the Bible´s instructions so you are not in opposition to the Omnipotent. Mercy!

In Christ, with Love,

Father! Man needs to live near You. Without Your help, he will go nowhere. Besides, many times, what he perceives comes from the enemy just to remove him from Your wonderful plan. We want to learn only from You.

One day, we will know why You wanted to occupy all the Earth. This did not please Nimrod. Boastful, the king planned to build a tower to touch the heavens, but it was pure illusion. He did not accept to be diminished by the imminent exodus. 

May this serve as an example to those who don’t submit themselves to You. Nothing can prevent Your will to be done. We have to go to the furthest places to tell the Truth to the descendants of the exodus of confusion.
